you can't get a direct fit module unfortunately. But somebody does a conversion to the transmitter to enable it to take one of the modules. I think it was through Helger but hopefully someone who has had it done can throw a bit more light on it. I know it's not cheap though!

Helger racing (oops - I mean Horizon Hobby UK!) convert the Esprit to fit the Helios module, and it isn't reversible. See here for more details.

Don't forget you will have to buy the Spektrum module as well as pay £47.50 for the conversion.

Not true Mark, the ariel and all its fixing points are removed during conversion.
